None are really"clear". And also, different mono's have different properties so knowing what you want to use it for would help

Well as close to clear as possible, White? Light grey?

I just want a close to 'clear' 15lb mono which casts fairly well, sinks wells and is fairly subtle as with most.

Thank you.

Why waste your time with mono better off with fluoro as that has the lower refractive index to start with I'm sure there are ones which meet your requirements.

Honestly, I have just never used it and therefore I just stick to what I know which is Mono.

Unless there's a lot of suspended particles and crap in the water. This stick to flojro more than mono making it stick out like a sore thumb.

I use Daiwa Sensor in brown and have done for years. They also do a "clear" version.

I've used Gold label pro clear in 16lb in the past. Can't remember it giving me any problems.

Gardner Pro in light blend or Gold label Pro clear, neither are really clear but both good around lines.

Well for that sort of range anything will do really, no need for a distance line as such. Gr60 sinks very well, is tough as old boots, has brilliant abrasion resistance. It's not the most supple line about or the best casting, but it will do what you need it to . I use it for all of my carp fishing

Very hard to beat Sufix Advance imo.. They do clear and lo vis green, I used clear for a few years but now use the lo vis as it just disappears under water. Clear lines can act line light tubes, transmitting light along their length, the colouring blocks this..
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
